Justin Bieber bonds with Malala, the young Pakistani activist

Apparently, Justin Bieber doesn't make a horse's rear-end of himself every day.

On Wednesday, the pop star and occasional Orlando Bloom punching target bonded with young Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai, and pledged to aid her cause.

Bieber posted a photo on his Instagram account showing him FaceTiming with Yousafzai, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

"She has such an incredible story. I can't wait to meet her in person and talk about how I can support her and the @malalafund. #love," he wrote underneath the image of the smiling pair,.

Yousafzai became a global story in 2012 when she was shot and nearly killed while riding a bus to school. She had for years been an outspoken champion of education and women's rights, despite receiving threats from the Taliban. Since assassination attempt, she has toured the world and created the Malala Fund to promote her main causes.

But Yousafzai is still a 17-year-old girl, and, well, she digs the Beebs. She has said in the past she is big fan of the singer. No word on what led up to two FaceTiming, and she has not commented on the matter.
